If the Register will take 1t kindly we
shall venture to suggest that it is in error
when it says, with reference to the Gas
Board: nOnly two Of the three Trustees
can, under the, ordinance, come from the
Republican raaks." There has been no
such change in the ordinance since the
Democrats in Council elected three Demo.
Gratis to be Trustees, thereby making the
Gas Board solid on that particular goose
question. It was not until Captain Rolf
resigned that the Democratic majority
recognized the beauty and utility Of the
rule Of minority representation In the
Board, as practicsd under Republican
control. M; 4t.{35 mn
a Democratic Trustee will be elected
this time, not as requirement Of the law,
but because Republicans agree that it is
right. The Democrat elected will be sat-
is!actory to the majority Of Council. We
do not understand that it is in contempla-
tion to aak the Democratic CAUCUS to fill
the place. t+S.s 55.s K, an. =
As eoon ss the Board is in working order
some elaring errors Of judgment will be
1ecafed. For example, there is to be
something Of restoration, beginning, let
uH cay. nth Mr.. Dillon as Superintendent.
Mr.. Dil!oh was an exceptionally compe.
tent and efficient Superintendent, and his
removal played its psrt in making the
Council Republican. There will very
properly be moro in the same line, look
ing to restoring the status quo ante bsllum,
so to speak. Ii a.rs 4, 4

tween Lawrence Barrett and Edwin Booth,
who are playing a thres weeks' engage.

that Mr.. Barrett had got tired of subordi-
mating himself to Mr.. Booth in all the

professed to have noticed looks Of aversion
between the two actors on the stage last
night and general chilliness of demeanor
and performance. Manager Henderson
scofed at the idea OF any trouble between

Is IT true that the Presidents speeches
are now in typo in the Government Print
ing Office? II not, the President should
nail the ugly alandor before it travels any
iurther. It is not unlawful to prepare
speeches in advance OF delivery, and this
is frequently good thing 10 do. It Is un.
lawful to do private work at the public
cost. This is the point Of importance in
connection with the grave allegation. Z,
It has been established beyond question
that the Presidents appointeea in the
Philadelphia Poetoflice havo done this
very thing, and an ugly looking thing 1t
is. II the President has done it, it will
look good deal less handsome. A public
trust is not private printing Office.

The movement among natives Of Eng
land and Scotland to become American
citizens ia going ahead ID earnest. at a
meeting in Chicsgo but one feeling was
expressed, and that was in favor Of natur-
alizatiou. Here arc some Of the striking
sentiments uttered, each by a different
person: 4.
"Ithink that when an Engliahman comes
to this country and doea not become an
American citizen he is a born fool"
II think that any man who gets his
living here ought to be nsturalized." n
"Whon we frat come 10 this country we
come to make money. Our feelings are
now changed. We have now come to
stay" W. 5.
"Any man who is disloyal to the United
Statea l an going to acratch." i;E
These are good enough American senti.
ments, and the man who entertain them
will make good citizens. It is a fact that
the thoughtful naturalized citizsn is often
better citizen than tho native, for expe-
rience in two lands has given him oppor.
tunity to Judge Of the institutions Of each
and to estimate their relative value. A

power to the detriment OF tho peonle.
Regarding the Interstate law it says: "If

fallen away from it's magnificent propor-

George 0. Jones, it's ruling spirit, was able
to muster only twelve delegates at the
State Convention held in Albany. The
Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, OF Elmirs, was
unanimously nominated for Secretary Of
State, and the rest Of the ticket Is as fol-
lows: For Controller, Sylvanus Tripp, Of
Ducheas; State Treasurer, Madison Hall,
Of Madison; State Engineer, Edwin A.

could not think of any Greenback lswyer,

Committee. M f. + l5..5i.'iT7. +. !
The platform demands the repeal OF all
